Photo by eyebeamEyebeam recently hosted the Art Hack Weekend, which was described as, “a 2-day design and prototype party with 50 makers in attendance.” DisKinect, one of the winning projects, is a plush puppet that is “controlled simply by a person’s movements.”

Users make movements in front of a Kinect system that then move a real life puppet. The users try to create music with their movements. After use though, it becomes a clash of controlling the puppet and the system to make the right music, while quickly realizing the futility of such process. It’s captivating, intriguing, and awakening.
